00:00:07.520 --> 00:00:14.799
welcome to my unboxing of AMD memory but

00:00:11.639 --> 00:00:16.880
AMD doesn't make memory you might say to

00:00:14.799 --> 00:00:20.119
which I would reply AMD also doesn't technically make CPUs now that they

00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:27.240
don't have their own Fabs however that does not prevent AMD

00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:31.240
from qualifying and validating and

00:00:27.240 --> 00:00:33.200
marketing memory with the right partner

00:00:31.240 --> 00:00:36.879
so in the case of their CPUs their partners are guys like Global foundaries

00:00:35.040 --> 00:00:43.600
which is actually a spin-off of AMD's old old Fabs um in this case I am not

00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:47.680
going to tell you who the partner is for the memory but I think you'll be able to figure it out by the time I'm done with

00:00:46.160 --> 00:00:53.800
the video so I'm not going to take a look at the Oh shoot what are they

00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:57.760
called right entertainment performance and radon grade memories separately this

00:00:56.199 --> 00:01:02.120
is going to be more of an overview of what is an what is an AMD memory um in

00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:06.720
general rather than looking at every single grade but entertainment is the

00:01:04.320 --> 00:01:12.560
lowest end performance is the mid-grade and then Radeon is the high-end so this

00:01:08.880 --> 00:01:15.439
is performance this is cl8 1.5 volt 1333

00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:19.680
MHz RAM it's a 2x4 gig kit you're not going to find any triple or quad Channel

00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:24.960
kits because AMD CPUs are all using dual Channel controllers from the a6s and a8s

00:01:23.240 --> 00:01:30.799
the apus of the world that is combination CPU gpus on one chip all the

00:01:27.759 --> 00:01:32.240
way up to their black edition f X chips

00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:35.960
so AMD per let's see what they have to say for themselves AMD performance

00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:38.960
Edition DDR DDR3 memory kits are specifically designed for the latest

00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:41.720
generation AMD processors they utilize low profile heat spreaders for enhanced

00:01:40.320 --> 00:01:45.640
cooling performance built using high quality pre-screened ic's and vigorously

00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:48.479
tested these AMD performance Edition modules are 100% hand tested for quality

00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:52.399
assurance backed by lifetime warranty and Industry leading customer support so

00:01:50.960 --> 00:01:57.840
here's something interesting for you guys I actually do know for a fact that

00:01:55.520 --> 00:02:03.880
they do use prescreened ic's and they actually lock it down to a particular

00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:06.280
particular build that is to say a bomb a

00:02:03.880 --> 00:02:14.280
a build of materials so what that means is that every AMD performance 1333 cl8

00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:19.519
kit is using pretty much the same components as every other one now okay

00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:23.640
isn't it always like that you might ask to which I would reply absolutely not um

00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:28.160
you know look at a performance memory brand such as Corsair on the side of

00:02:25.720 --> 00:02:34.400
their memory you'll often see revision 1.1 1.2 2 .1 2.2 2.3 all the way up to

00:02:32.519 --> 00:02:39.120
I've seen revision numbers as high as double digits on Corsair memory so they

00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:43.400
are often changing the components which isn't to say that's a bad thing because

00:02:41.200 --> 00:02:47.800
particularly for highgrade memory chips especially back in the ddr2 days it was

00:02:45.920 --> 00:02:51.519
often necessary to change the components in order to get the yields they needed

00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:55.800
to hit those high speeds what does that mean if for the end user it means that

00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:59.000
if you're upgrading your exactly the same part number might not necessarily

00:02:57.480 --> 00:03:02.800
even work in dual Channel with your other exactly the same part number but

00:03:00.760 --> 00:03:06.640
different revision RAM it also means if you're building 10 systems at a time and

00:03:04.959 --> 00:03:09.599
you have five that are one revision and five that are another revision you right

00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:14.440
might run into issues where one doesn't work with another which brings us to the

00:03:11.720 --> 00:03:18.840
point of all of this AMD released memory so that they would be sure that any AMD

00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:23.280
memory would work in any AMD motherboard without any

00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:27.760
fuss hold on a second okay and maximum performance

00:03:26.440 --> 00:03:33.159
latest generation okay okay okay build and supported by Patriot memory LLC so

00:03:29.480 --> 00:03:35.799
there go so yes it is a very very

00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:41.799
well-known lifetime warranty actually still builds modules in North America

00:03:38.920 --> 00:03:46.280
brand that is building and supporting these for AMD they have black pcbs which

00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:50.280
I think is a must on anything that you're going to call Performance Edition

00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:53.120
which is on the other side and then you got your sort of standard part number

00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:56.319
built by Patriots see it's not really a secret really uh warranty void if

00:03:55.120 --> 00:04:00.519
removed you don't want to take this off there's a low profile heat sink and I think that pretty much wraps it up so

00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:07.439
thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at AMD

00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:07.439
